gift gone wrong

DH is notorious for not giving me any gifts. I don't get anything on my birthday, at Christmas, on our anniversary, and especially on Valentine's Day. I'll admit, it upsets me.

Today, I figured would be like every other 'gift giving holiday'.

We were getting ready to leave to go to SS's school Valentine's Party, when DH suddenly got a call on his phone. He said there was a work emergency and I should go to the party without him.

When SS and I got back home, DH was still at the house. I walked in the door and was immediately greeted by a wiggly puppy.

I'm shocked. I was not expecting this.

Normally, I would be thrilled. I love dogs (DH actually hates dogs), but I know I can't handle a puppy right now. My own dog is having medical issues and is scheduled for surgery next week. I'm also eight months pregnant with my first. I know I won't be able to chase around a puppy while carrying for my baby. Also, I know all the training and care of the puppy is going to be my responsibility, and I just can't do it right now.

I feel bad about complaining about a gift, especially when it's something I would normally be over the moon about. I haven't said anything to DH yet, because I don't even know what to say.
